Call for Papers: Chaos Communication Camp 2003

Aldert Hazenberg sent in this note about a Call for Papers: "Papers are being solicited for the second Camp of the Chaos Computer Club e.V., Germany, to be held near Berlin, Germany, on 7/8/9/10th August 2003. The Camp is intended to promote the interchange of technical, social and political ideas and concepts to find ways to make this world a little bit more friendly to intelligent beings."

Intelligent ?

As someone once said to Carl Segan, after his speach about searching for extraterastrial intelligance.
- "First lets see if we can find any Intelligance on Earth."

The Facts

[Talisman]

Let's look at the facts about this seemingly innocuous meeting:

"Papers are being solicited for the second Camp of the Chaos Computer Club e.V., Germany, to be held near Berlin, Germany, on 7/8/9/10th August 2003."

'Camp of the Chaos Computer Club' can be reduced to the initialism 'CCCC'. You'll note it is 4-letters in length. The fact that 'NAZI' is also 4-letters in length strikes me as a bit too much of a coincident.

Just like 'HAL' in the movie 2001 was actually 'IBM' rolled back one letter, 'CCCC' is actually 'NAZI' if you roll the first 'C' forward 11 letters, the second 'C' back 2 letters, the third 'C' forward 23 letters and the last 'C' forward 6 letters.

11 - 2 + 23 + 6 = 28, i.e. 1928, the year the Nazi Party came to power in Germany.

And where does this so-called 'Computer Club' call home?

GERMANY!

The cat is out of the bag, chumps. We're onto you like hair on a gorilla.

CCCC is only one character shift away from CCCP, and he goes for the "NAZI" Connection instead. Only on slashdot. :)
